This definition of selection methods shows that there is a process involved in selecting an individual for a certain role and that it also involves evaluating a candidate on specific criteria. It explains that this process can range from being a very simple process to being a very complicated process depending on the company which is hiring and the position which is being sought-after by the candidate. It goes on to explain that certain employment laws such as anti-discrimination must be obeyed as not to offend the candidate.
“Employee selection is the process of matching people and jobs. The decision-making process in hiring may involve multiple interviews and interviewer ratings, and may make use of various performance tests as well as background and employment checks. Since the employee-selection process involves several factors, companies may have a human resources department handle recruitment, selection and training of employees”.
